WOW really made me appreciate SWTOR

No MMO truly needs to be P2P, just take a look at the costs to maintain the game(Unless, of course, you decide to spend 200 million on pointless voice acting *rolls eyes*). GW1 is proof of that. And I think you meant TERA will go free to play. Maybe it does, but I don't think it will.

Maybe we can go and level your character for you?

Seriosly, its not like it hard to reach lvl50 on this game, and its not like you dont have several ways of leveling. two of them dont even require you to quest at all.

QQ + QQ + QQ = We dont care.

There are those that would disagree with you there. But bah. not worth getting into.

Yes i did. i edited the post.

I'm not saying TERA is a bad game, it actually conflicts me because i dont want to have 2 P2P games subed at the same time and i love SWTOR. With that said, if you go to TERA forums, you will realise the game doesnt seem to have that many followers. GW2 also seems to have a related theme and is stealing alot of costumers from them since all the press is trying to hype it as the next WoW killer, since they never learn.

You're missing my point, which is that wow clones aint gonna be the next big thing. Not necesserarily any of those 3 games instead, but rather something along those lines.

Also, I know one thing about Titan; Blizzard are doing it ..thats all I need to know atm.

The game doesnt have that many followers because it was poorly advertised and there are many issues regarding lawsuits, it being a korean game, Elins and whatnot. But hey, I seriously doubt this game would have done a better job if it wasn't for the SW franchise and the fact that BW made it. The second is what sold it for me, and I can't say I'm all but completely disappointed.

A lot of people. There were long threads before launch looking at solo players vs. raiders and a number of polls. It turned out that a lot of people enjoy the questing / leveling process, have many alts., and have a take on end game content that is not purely group play. I remember BWs hype about how much there would be for such players to do at level cap (lol). Has not Blizz said that there will be solo content (mini dungeons and raid type) for such players in MOP and is that not just a continuation of the questing experience? Blizz may be starting to get it and may actually be reading some of the comments by people who have unsubbed.

There are no numbers that I have seen that state the proportion of players who play mmo's for questing, but my take is that it is a big slice of the pie.

Yeah leveling to 25 in WOW sucks compared to TOR. TOR is much better than WOW for those first levels. Just a shame things become rather boring after 25....

Heh, Age of Conan was a lot like that. Except there was even less after the starting area.

I hear you OP, but in the spirit of community discussion, with a post like this you can expect to receive some counter-points.

There is an inherent flaw in your decision to come back to SWTOR. First you state that you left because you hit max level, and given the lack of end-game and pvp, you were frustrated. This implies that the idea of leveling new characters wasn't appealling, but rather, you wanted end-game. Then you went to wow, which is known for quality end-game, but left because you didn't like the leveling. Now you're back to swtor, but you don't like the end-game and have implied that you don't want to level new characters. So I ask you, why?

Honestly, the leveing in wow is surely boring to say the least. But that's the price of admission for their high-quality end-game. If you stick it out you would get what you want.

After 4 years of WOW, I have been the biggest fanboi of swtor since its release. Now, given the raging community, the complete ease of acquiring gear, the heavily instanced corridor-style world, the seemingly low population and lack of LFG tools, I miss wow. Yesterday I cancelled my swtor sub, and unless there is a meaningful patch before my time runs out in 20 days, I'm going back to wow as I wait for the next big thing.

Good luck to you OP, I hope you find what you're looking for.
